Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

Recently I was in Nebraska City when I ran into an old friend. As we were visiting, another lady overheard that I used to live in Plattsmouth and showed me this photo. She said she lives in or near Percival, Iowa and after the recent flooding this photo was found on her property. Because of the background showing Steube's Jack and Jill, we determined it was taken in front of the former Community Center across the street. It looks like it could have been a milestone birthday celebration or retirement party. The date on the photo is June 24, 2006. If you, or someone you know, lost some belongings due to the floods, and would like this original picture back, contact Pat, at 402-235-2926, or [email protected]
